Summary
Details

What is a circular economy?

A circular economy is an economic system that is based on the use and reuse of resources. It is an economy that seeks to minimize or eliminate waste. In a circular economy, products and services are designed to last a long time and be easily repaired, updated, or reused.

A circular economy is in contrast to the traditional linear economy, which uses resources, converts them into products, and then discards them as waste. In a linear economy, waste is a major problem. It pollutes the environment and depletes natural resources.

A circular economy offers many benefits. It helps to protect the environment, conserve natural resources, and promote economic growth.

Principles of a circular economy

There are three main principles of a circular economy:

Design: Products and services should be designed to last a long time, be easily repaired, and be reused.

Flow: Resources should be used and reused in a closed loop.

Renewability: Resources should be renewed so that they do not run out over time.

Examples of a circular economy

There are many examples of a circular economy in action. For example, many companies are now designing products that are easy to repair. Apple recently launched a new repair service that allows customers to repair their iPhones and iPads at home.

Another example is reuse. Reuse is an important part of a circular economy. By reusing, we can reduce waste and conserve resources. For example, we can reuse plastic bottles by recycling them or donate old clothes.
